The secretary came, pulled me by my ears and said: You are going to study. Education, work and free time of Greeks

Abstract

This collective monograph's chapter deals with the issue of integration of Greek civil war refugees (1946-1949) into the Czechoslovak society. It focuses on the areas of education, work and leisure time.

An emphasis is made both on the Greek minority's abilities to merge with the majority and to maintain their national identity via the establishment of their own cultural and sport associations.
